are any of these bands' entire existences not based on ironic fashion and/or having ironic puns for names (such as er, Yo Majesty)...?

well, the black kids actually have black people in their band.

Ditto, i saw them at Indian Summer and while they were semi-entertaining they were neither cutting edge or "new". If they do get big this year it will purely be from magazine hype and they will (hopefully) just be a flash in the pan.

not a lot of things in music are cutting edge or "new" these days, i don't see what your point is.

thieves like us, i'd also like to add to the list. they're neither cutting edge or "new" though, but they're playing snafu on valentine's day!

Vampire Weekend

Black Kids

Friendly Fires

The Teenagers

all good calls

I doubt Skins has made it all the way over to Australia.

Complete douche bag but great quote!

i don't know, it's pretty popular all over the world. a lot of the yanks are bigging it up already.

good times for that teenager. i doubt he'd have survived camie's party, though.

it's superman though, he can do anything he wants.

He could invest in stocks and shares, put his money in the bank, do the lottery for all I care, all sorts of stuff. Do you support all those "entrepreneurs" who "invest" in tickets for things like T in the Park simply so they can sell them for profit?

you are going to be so pissed off when you find out about channel 4's property ladder.

actually, that seemed a little rude.

sorry!

it's not true.

utter bullshit, from a reliable source.

very interested in this

this kit, but in a nicer navy blue:

fairly good condition, perfect for beginners!

very cheap:

Yeah, something like that!

It's more to do with litigation and all that American pish!

Today, I was in Books'n'Beans for a bowl of soup and a scone (canny be beat!) and I was told that one of the staff would need to bring my soup upstairs for me.

FFS!

is the scone for dipping purposes?

Hmmm i kinda fucked up that link so here it is again.

Fact top 100 tunes

that's a good one.

in no order or anything:

chromeo - fancy footwork

the shins - wincing the night away

animal collective - strawberry jam

panda bear - person pitch

justice - †

spank rock & benny blanco - bangers & cash

as long as you admit to liking no music that any one else likes, you'll be fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine.

my opinion is that robert neville wasn't black. if he was, then maybe he could have made a hip hop track that heighted number one! then we really could have thought as will smith as the man. i mean, topping the charts and fighting an array of grossly inaccurate animals on the silverscreen?

touch, willy, touch...

aberdeen-music - Calendar

edit: what dave said...

robert neville wasn't black.

Yes, I've bought guitars and amps from them, both instore and for delivery, they are one of the best.

i echo this, never had a problem with them.

pretty sweet photos.

good job with the music, tom tom.

my name's shaun.

the teenagers debut album should be the best thing on earth in 2008.
